A joyful jolt of recognition when someone is so perfectly themselves that you can’t keep it in and have to react.
It’s like cute aggression, but instead of being triggered by cuteness, it happens when someone’s words, mannerisms, or vibe are so them that your brain locks onto their wavelength and you feel an irresistible urge to acknowledge it, point it out, or physically express it.
It is more of a feeling than something that can be expressed in text. You can feel pattern joy silently, but show your feelings physically, as with aggression: squeezing your hands, shrinking, using facial expressions, etc. Your brain feels so rewarded for seeing the pattern that it overflows with energy that you want to splash out.

Example 1:
Ryan Reynolds makes another sarcastic Deadpool-style comment in real life.
"Pattern joy. This man is just Deadpool without the mask."
Example 2:
Zendaya laughs in that very specific, soft half-laugh she always does in interviews.
"I feel pattern joy. This is such a stereotypical Zendaya that I'm starting to think this alien has trained on all the information about her and is pretending to be her."
Example 3:
"I feel pattern joy so much. Emma Watson tilts her head and laughs softly whenever she’s slightly embarrassed, just like always. Do you see it? I'm not even her fan, but it's like I've known her for so long! I'm proud of my empathy power, lol"

Get the Adan Peterson mug.A person who is dominant in a sexual manner whom enjoys spanking their partner in a way that is borderline abusive. The spanking used to be a legitimate form of punishment in the bedroom, but is frowned upon in today's society and could result in a prison sentence. Mainly used in male on male relationships.
Brad always complained about the beatings he got from his Daddy Peterson, but always went back to him after the off-season.

Get the Daddy Peterson mug.Eric Peterson's are extremely mysterious. They tend to disappear and go M.I.A. for what seems to be forever, just so they can be missed. They will mislead you on purpose just to keep you guessing. And of course, wanting more. They are so sexy that both sexes are attracted to them. They are stalked by crazies on social media and therefore won't reply to your messages hardly ever. Boy! Eric Petersons will get you wanting them down on one knee. Practically salivating as you wait. But, unfortunately, they have huge commitment issues and love playing games as all immature boys do. So if you expect to see a change anytime soon... you're better off planning your own funeral.
